About this title

From the Back Cover:

"The chance discovery of a thirty-year-old blue movie leads back to the film's maker, Tim Purdom, and the London of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Purdom was a pioneer of the black-and-white British porno film and a figure on the periphery of the Profumo sex scandal. He directed nine films ... but who was directing him and what was their hidden agenda? And where is Tim now?"--BOOK JACKET. "London Blues explicitly and unremittingly details the hidden world of Soho vice and London's demi-monde at the time when the grey 1950s were giving way to the 'swinging' sixties. It is a venture into the secret history of our time - a provocative and totally original novel."--BOOK JACKET.
